Description: After a pretty hot week, I didn’t expect to see snow in the mountains. Having only trail-runners, I decided to explore a route I’d taken several years ago with my son. On that day and this one, I got stopped by snow about 1.5 miles up. However, there was less snow this time which allowed me to see that the trail might continue past the 1.5-mile point when free of snow. On the way back down, I followed a spur trail until I didn’t see a way forward.

Stats: 3.7 miles, 685′ of gain and loss.

View from the “trail” past the junction where the road continues toward three points and the “trail” leads up the west face of Mt. Waterman.
